    Default anyone else hit Joanns?

    I could have went nuts on patterns, but was good and only bought 3 patterns. (dresses for Alexandra) I bought 6 yds of fabric that was 30% off. It's just so pretty. The fabric I chose have these cute little embroidered things like flowers, butterflies etc on them. I picked up a crochet book, some yarn needles, and some fq's too. I used my 40% coupon on the crochet book.

    Was a great day.

    WTG Sara, you did good. That material sounds so pretty. And I see those fq's are continuing to increase.

    Whats the title of the crochet book?

    Yup, I did. I bought lots of thread, bias tape, needles, and I used my 50% off coupon to get 7 FQ's for only $3.75

    I believe it's called 101 afghan stitches. I love it. Lots of fun.

    My fq stash is outta control, but it sure is fun to collect them. I've decided to cool it with fq's for a bit though and buy at least 1/2 yds. That ought to curb my buying fq's a bit. lol

    I didn't. Ours is a mystery store, LOL we have it in the phone book, but no matter what we haven't been able to find it. I walked to Hobby Lobby though.
    Great deals Sara and Michelle!

    Yes I worked Saturday and then went back to shop. It is getting close to festival season so I needed a lot. I got 20 yards of fabric, sulky bobbin thread, 8 new colors of sulky thread, sulky water soluable, sulky cut away,1 pattern,and some eyelet. I saved over 30.00 with my employee discount plus countless amounts with sales and clearance.
